Chris ForfatterI never saw the TV-show, I only knew the item from the Airfix-cataloge. And as a kid I always wanted this kit. Had to wait 50 years to fulfill my dream 😉

Andy DallyMy nickname years ago, when i had non grey hair was Captain Scarlet.
Its the only Gerry Anderson thing i liked. I built this kit in 76, aged 11. Going watch you relive my youth.
The 1980 stamp on the fuselage is misleading, perhaps a rejig of the mold.

Chris ForfatterAs you said: I just had a look at the timeline, the original kit is from 1968, in 1980 it says "new parts" - which one ever?

Roy McKayAround 1980 Airfix retooled some kits from normal to Snap fix or their particular "snap 'n' glue" to encourage more kids. Their Spitfire 1a and an Me109 were part of this. I have a feeling that the Angel Interceptor might also be part of this group. Would explain the 1980 stamp?

Roy McKayOnly to make some location pins bigger for snap fit. You still needed glue for the smaller parts so you might wonder what was the point?
